FROM MISS PAULIN JAMES
Dear Beloved,
Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not
mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.
Your profile pushed me to send you this mail,I am Paulin James,25years
old and the only daughter of my late parents . My father was a highly
reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa
merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in
France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Febuary
2002.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been
masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.But
God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since
then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2002
he
called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told
him that he has the sum of twenty two million,seven hundred thousand
United State Dollars.(USD$22.700,000) left in one of the leading
security company in Europe.
He further told him that he deposited the money in my
name,and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he
said is in possession of all the necessary but legal documents to this
fund and the security company .
I am just 25 years old and really don't know what to do.This is because
I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis
here in Ivory
coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
Dear,I am in a sincere desire of your humble
assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your Sister?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you after the money is in your account?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as
possible THROUGH MY PRIVATE EMAIL paulin_james25@zipmail.com.br
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Paulin James.
